Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(r\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned}{ }^n P_r- & { }^{n-1} P_r=\frac{n !}{(n-r) !}-\frac{(n-1) !}{(n-r-1) !} \\ & =\frac{(n-1) !}{(n-r-1) !}\left(\frac{n}{n-r}-1\right)=\frac{(n-1) !}{(n-r) !} \cdot r \\ & =\frac{(n-1) !}{((n-1)-(r-1) !} \cdot r=r \cdot{ }^{n-1} P_{r-1} \\ \therefore \quad{ }^n P_r…
